Microbes play a crucial role in mediating the methane flux in deep-sea cold seep
ecosystems, where only methane-related microbes have been well studied, while the whole …

Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are produced in anoxic sediments by
methanogenic archaea. Nonetheless, over 90% of the produced methane is oxidized via …

Methane seepages typically harbor communities of anaerobic methane oxidizers (ANME);
however, knowledge about fine-scale vertical variation of ANME in response to geochemical …

Methane seeps are widespread seafloor ecosystems shaped by the emission of gas from
seabed reservoirs. The microorganisms inhabiting methane seeps transform the chemical …

Syntrophic consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing
bacteria (SRB) consume large amounts of methane and serve as the foundational …

Methane seeps are widespread seafloor ecosystems shaped by complex physicochemical-
biological interactions over geological timescales, and seep microbiomes play a vital role in …

Marine methane seep habitats represent an important control on the global flux of methane.
Nucleotide-based meta-omics studies outline community-wide metabolic potential, but …

Anaerobic methane‐oxidizing microbial communities in sediments at cold methane seeps
are important factors in controlling methane emission to the ocean and atmosphere. Here …

In marine anaerobic environments, methane is oxidized where sulfate-rich seawater meets
biogenic or thermogenic methane. In those niches, a few phylogenetically distinct microbial …

The potential and drivers of microbial methane removal in the water column of seasonally
stratified coastal ecosystems and the importance of the methanotrophic community …
